Chapter 51: A Harvest of Space
After coming out of Director Guo's house, Wang Manyin did not go directly to the food station, but first bought a box of good cigarettes at the store department of the supply and marketing cooperative.
In those days, the food station was also one of the eight members of the commune, and it was still very beautiful, and the nostrils of the people working in it were turned up to the sky.
The food station and the supply and marketing cooperatives in the Shibi Festival are not separated, and there is a note written by Director Guo, which is equivalent to the sword of Shang Fang. After the other party sees it, he will definitely do it.
But Wang Manyin doesn't know anything...... No matter what era it is, you still have to understand some sophistication.
So there are some preparations that should be done and should be done.
When he came to the compound of the food station, after he found the person in charge, he directly handed over the slip and stuffed a box of cigarettes.
After the man put the cigarette in his pocket, his attitude immediately changed.
"Since Director Guo said hello, you can choose a few catties of these broken bones and meat......" The person in charge pointed to a pile of pig bones on the meat case.
It is said to be a pork bone, but in fact, if you look carefully, you can remove a lot of meat. This should be regarded as a semi-public benefit of the food station, which is specially prepared for related households, and ordinary people cannot buy it at all.
As he spoke, the other party picked up the boning knife again, cut a ball of oil from the board next to him, and threw it directly.
Wang Manyin was stunned for a moment, then woke up and replied in a low voice: "Thank you,"
The so-called plate oil is the fat layer of the pig's abdomen. In these years, plate oil is also a good thing, and it can be used to refine lard. It can also be bought by a "singles" with a head and a face, and it doesn't matter if you can only cut some lean meat with a meat ticket.
Judging from the other party's skillful movements, it is obviously not the first time.
It's right to think about it, it's strange that the rats are put on the side of the rice bowl and don't steal them.
How much meat can be killed by a pig, this thing really has no quantitative, and there must be a lot of error in the middle.
People can sew a few catties of their fingers casually.
If there is no benefit, why do people in this era want to go to work at the food station.
However, for Wang Manyin, if he sees through it, he is also a vested interest.
He chose seven or eight catties of minced flesh and bones, and after paying the bill, he honestly went out of the food station.
When you come to a place where no one is around, put it in the space as usual and save it.
Next, Wang Manyin returned to the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative, and packed the goods he needed to buy. said hello to Liu Qingli, took the flat shoulder and left.
When I passed by the restaurant next to me, I bought some food.
Walking out of the Shibijie Commune, seeing that there was no one around, Wang Manyin turned the road and left the dirt road. Finding a hidden leeward mound, he dodged into the space.
It is said that since getting married, Wang Manyin has been eager to be with his daughter-in-law 24 hours a day.
Every time I enter and leave the space, I come and go in a hurry, and I don't have time to take care of the things inside.
It just so happens that I have time at this time, so I can finish the work that I left behind a few days ago.
Although it has been a few months since he got this space, Wang Manyin is standing by the pond at this moment, and he still has a feeling of separation.
Especially now, it's icy and snowy outside, and it's dusky and snowy. The spring is full of joy inside, bees and butterflies are dancing, and the sound of chirping is completely indescribable to be a lively scene.
After staying for a while, I feel that my whole soul has been washed.
If there is no space, Wang Manyin is not sure if he can really survive in this era. More likely, I'm afraid it has already collapsed.
After a little emotion, he stepped into the field of crops near the pond.
This piece is also the earliest experimental field to be developed.
Not only wheat is grown, but also corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rape and other crops.
The wheat had been harvested a few days ago, and now the other crops are almost ripe.
Benefiting from the unique environment, these crops are growing quite well, as if they had been produced with high-yielding fertilizers.
Especially in front of the row of more than a dozen corn plants, the thick corn cobs are very conspicuous, almost each of them is 30 centimeters long.
Wang Manyin casually pulled open a few corn leaves, revealing pale yellow corn kernels. I pinched it with my hand and it came straight to the pulp.
That's just right, and you'll be old in a few days.
Why don't you boil two corn cobs and taste them?
I haven't eaten boiled corn in a while, but I'm thinking about it.
It just so happens that there are firewood and clay pots in the space, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Thinking of this, he immediately began to light a fire. After adding a few handfuls of hard firewood under the pot stove, Wang Manyin turned his attention to the potato field not far away.
The potato seedlings are yellow, and it should be the ripening season.
Wang Manyin had just gotten the space, and there weren't many other crop seeds around him to experiment with. It happened that there were a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes piled up in the cave, and a lot of them were planted.
Today, there are more than 30 potato seedlings, and a large area is spread on the ground.
In anticipation, he bent down and grabbed one and pulled it up suddenly.
Although the space belongs to the loess, the soil quality is more sandy, loose and breathable.
It didn't take much effort for the stout potato stalks to slip out along with seven or eight large potatoes.
The space is as powerful as ever.
The largest potato on the root weighs more than a pound.
Counting the remaining few, one plant can produce five or six catties.
If the next yield is this kind, 30 potato seedlings can produce more than 100 catties.
Even in the afterlife, it is quite amazing.
With anticipation, he began to pull the seedlings one by one.
It's really as Wang Manyin thought, every potato seedling is full of harvest.
The largest of them, the potato, weighs almost five pounds, and looks like a small winter melon, which is very shocking.
However, Wang Manyin has the impression that later generations seem to have seen it on the Internet, and the largest potato in China has reached more than ten catties.
Compared with others, I have to continue to work hard.
These more than 30 potato seedlings have harvested almost 200 catties of potatoes.
For Wang Manyin, he was both excited and helpless.
The high yield is a good thing, of course, but what makes him a little frustrated is that the potatoes look too big. If you take these home, you will definitely attract questions from orchids.
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, he decided to pick only some of the smaller ones and take them outside, saying that he bought them from the pigeon market.
The remaining large potatoes, in addition to some of the remaining seeds, can also be used to make potato vermicelli.
Thinking of potato vermicelli, Wang Manyin aimed at the sweet potato field next to him. This thing can also be used to make vermicelli, and the yield is not low.
As for the sweet potato seedlings, it is just right to use them as feed for the piglets.
As Wang Manyin guessed, the yield of sweet potatoes is also very powerful.
When all the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the whole land are gathered, there will be almost 500 catties.
Wang Manyin was a little regretful, he had known that it was this yield, and he should have planted half an acre of potatoes and sweet potatoes, but it is estimated that food freedom has been completely realized now.
But don't worry, in a little more than a month, the rice in the space should be ripe, followed by wheat......
In short, food is not a big problem this year.
Raising a piglet can even solve the problem of eating meat.
After cleaning up the potatoes and sweet potatoes, Wang Manyin came to the honeybee nest.
At the beginning, in order to make up the space for green, he introduced a lot of wattles and wild roses from the outside world.
As these plants bloom, they provide a rich source of food for the native bees. In particular, the wild rose has a flowering period of up to half a year, and it is definitely a high-quality nectar source plant.
In less than two months, three new bee spleens were added to the kiln. In a few days, we should be able to harvest another wave.
After inspecting the soil bee colony, Wang Manyin walked all the way to the edge of the space, looking for the logo he left some time ago.
As expected, the space area is still expanding. It's just that this expansion is unusually slow, and it has been nearly a month since he made the mark, and the edge has only expanded by less than ten centimeters.
However, for him, four acres of land is enough, and no matter how big it is, it makes no sense.
After all, I am alone, and I can't keep myself busy with more land.
